Errors on startup, just installedhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/390168/929797/#msg_929797
The first error- EGit could not detect where Git is installed

EGit does not require Git to function, but there may be important settings in the installation directory that EGit needs to know about in order

to be compatible with Git. The most important of these settings is core.autocrlf. Git for Windows by default sets this parameter to true in the

etc director of the Git installation. The directory can be configured in Preferences under Team > Git.

The second-
Check Home Directory C:\Users\"my name"

the environment variable HOME is not set. The following directory will be used for storing the Git user configuration and as default repository location: C:\Users\"my name". If this is not correct please set the HOME environment variable and restart Eclipse.]]>Devin Platt2012-10-01T19:38:46-00:00Re: Errors on startup, just installedhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/390168/931286/#msg_931286
Second message can be fixed by setting environment variable HOME to %USERPROFILE%.
First message surprises me. I have installed TortoiseGit and msysgit for Windows, but Error still remains.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Set manual path to msysgit under Team -> Git works. TortoiseGit uninstalled because not needed.]]>F H2012-10-03T04:22:52-00:00Re: Errors on startup, just installedhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/390168/931679/#msg_931679
Also, you may get a proper response asking on the EGit forum here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/48/]]>Eliseo Ocampos2012-10-03T12:21:15-00:00Re: Errors on startup, just installedhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/390168/931917/#msg_931917
Also, how do I set the Home variable?]]>Devin Platt2012-10-03T16:48:34-00:00How to set the HOME variablehttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/390168/989505/#msg_989505
HOME to your environment variables:

In Windows 7, type "environment" at the start menu

Select "Edit environment variables for your account"

Click the "New" button.

Enter "HOME" in the name field

Enter "%USERPROFILE%" or some other path in the value field.

Click OK, and OK again. You have just added the Home directory on Windows.
